Late in the katanin of 1856 I was
going hoiue to Vermont for m short
visit. Just as I stepped on the wharf
at Bufiklo, a geatlemao tapp^ me on

• But I can to jrduire,’ retorted 'he;
‘ so oome along witboat any mbre ado.’
' Claim your baggage,; train leaves

‘ What on earth do yoa mean ?

plied dryly, * so come along.’
* • You will' please! to introduee yoar*

• I am Deputy Crane, of Baflhlo,* he
answered.
•And I Depn^.Wood, ofChieago.
Bat the train’s off. 1 will see yoa on

There was a little confusion. ' All

aboard they got, ezccftt Deputy Wood
and his trunk, wbi^, to my o ^ in
knowledge, were lett standing in the
depot, the one aboat M spe^ess oa

• Now bold on Crane,’ I eiclaimed,
* this joke has gone about far enough.
We can tel^raph lo the Chief in Chi­cago,
and get an answer in half an boar,
which will pat the matter all-right, and
in the mean time I will eat some
breakfatt and be ready for the noon eX'
presa.’
Tearing a leaf from my memoraadum
book, I wrote, ‘ Chief Detective Police.
Chicago. Dmribe Deputy Wood, and
say where he is.'
Crane took the dispatch,. signed his
own name to it. and sent it immediate*
ly. Shortly the answer waa returaed;
* Deputy Wood, thirty-five years, red
hair, freckled face, five feet eleven,
dressed in full suit of sheep’s gray; on
way to Vermont, and probably passed
BoflTalo this morning. Haa any aooi-

Detective Polioe, Chi^o.’
This was eonclusive, and I was
straightway escorted, with many a{wl>
ogies, by my new friend, from the City
Boiel to the American, where I was
invited to eat and drink,v.apt at the
city’s expense, bat of yoac humble ser­vant.

almost felt in hii pocket when be nab­bed

A |^ breakfast, jre walked down to
the store of Smith,; Jones & Co., and
talked over the, afiir. Jones apoloe^
gized and said ‘ He suppoeed they must
be mistakt^ ^ the amn, which perhaps
jras not strangdl seeing that our atten­tion
waa .iwi wM to yon particularly,
Und sevi^Ml months bad iiitervened;
mistakes will happen in very good fam­ilies.’
: Having Slivered him^f of this
very dnnbtful admissran of my honesty
and entirely an original joke, Hr. Jonea
ratired into the oounting-room, looking
-very uo^vineed, and the clerkt, as if

I bade him good-bye at the depot, that,
ad far as 1 waa conoerned, it was all
rijghv bdi Assisted that it was a mitti-ral

For a month or more, while among
my friends in Vermont, Ithonght little
of the ooc'drenoo. I t is trae the tiibas-and
dollara rsward would oecasionally
couie into my mind, bat aa I was not

may be, much valuable property and
still greater rewards. As tlw key to,
the situation was evidently my reaem-blance
to some rascal, I thought itright,
as 1 bad to bear resemblance, that I
should havp all the benefit to oome
from it, or at least the lion’s share; so I'
resolved to keep my own counsel, and
make up my case as best I oould in
my own room. Joe was coming back
on the next day. Bill, my acquaintance'
and the boys, had been having good
pickings, and they would probably be
there to-morrow at four, if the real Joe
did not come round before, and clear
up or add to the mystery of to-day.
Joe evidently must be headed off, or
the pigeons would scatter before they
could be bj^rged. It was my main in­terest,
having no local responmbility in
the matter, to bag the tbousaiid dollars
and Joe. But as the street had-two
ends t? it, and the bagging must not be
done where it would frigbtn the other
game, I b ^ n to see that I most have
help even io the putaet, so I senaibi/
concluded to lay the whole afbir before

Late in the katanin of 1856 I was

visit. Just as I stepped on the wharf
at Bufiklo, a geatlemao tapp^ me on

' Claim your baggage,; train leaves

‘ What on earth do yoa mean ?

• But not the bUtion-hoose,’ he ie>
plied dryly, * so come along.’
* • You will' please! to introduee yoar*

• I am Deputy Crane, of Baflhlo,* he
answered.
•And I Depn^.Wood, ofChieago.

There was a little confusion. ' All

aboard they got, ezccftt Deputy Wood
and his trunk, wbi^, to my o ^ in
knowledge, were lett standing in the
depot, the one aboat M spe^ess oa

Deputy Crane preaently remarked
that he had never te(pre bad the pteas*

• Now bold on Crane,’ I eiclaimed,

We can tel^raph lo the Chief in Chi­cago,
and get an answer in half an boar,
which will pat the matter all-right, and
in the mean time I will eat some

Tearing a leaf from my memoraadum
book, I wrote, ‘ Chief Detective Police.
Chicago. Dmribe Deputy Wood, and
say where he is.'
Crane took the dispatch,. signed his
own name to it. and sent it immediate*
ly. Shortly the answer waa returaed;
* Deputy Wood, thirty-five years, red
hair, freckled face, five feet eleven,
dressed in full suit of sheep’s gray; on
way to Vermont, and probably passed
BoflTalo this morning. Haa any aooi-

Detective Polioe, Chi^o.’
This was eonclusive, and I was
straightway escorted, with many a{wl>
ogies, by my new friend, from the City
Boiel to the American, where I was
invited to eat and drink,v.apt at the
city’s expense, bat of yoac humble ser­vant.

A |^ breakfast, jre walked down to

talked over the, afiir. Jones apoloe^

jras not strangdl seeing that our atten­tion
waa .iwi wM to yon particularly,
Und sevi^Ml months bad iiitervened;
mistakes will happen in very good fam­ilies.’
: Having Slivered him^f of this
very dnnbtful admissran of my honesty
and entirely an original joke, Hr. Jonea
ratired into the oounting-room, looking
-very uo^vineed, and the clerkt, as if

I bade him good-bye at the depot, that,
ad far as 1 waa conoerned, it was all
rijghv bdi Assisted that it was a mitti-ral

For a month or more, while among
my friends in Vermont, Ithonght little
of the ooc'drenoo. I t is trae the tiibas-and
dollara rsward would oecasionally
couie into my mind, bat aa I was not

may be, much valuable property and
still greater rewards. As tlw key to,
the situation was evidently my reaem-blance
to some rascal, I thought itright,
as 1 bad to bear resemblance, that I
should havp all the benefit to oome
from it, or at least the lion’s share; so I'
resolved to keep my own counsel, and
make up my case as best I oould in
my own room. Joe was coming back
on the next day. Bill, my acquaintance'
and the boys, had been having good
pickings, and they would probably be
there to-morrow at four, if the real Joe
did not come round before, and clear
up or add to the mystery of to-day.
Joe evidently must be headed off, or
the pigeons would scatter before they
could be bj^rged. It was my main in­terest,
having no local responmbility in
the matter, to bag the tbousaiid dollars
and Joe. But as the street had-two
ends t? it, and the bagging must not be
done where it would frigbtn the other
game, I b ^ n to see that I most have
help even io the putaet, so I senaibi/
concluded to lay the whole afbir before

werffto be sutioned at a private honae
